Chapter one: Finding Clues


It had to be two am when the phone rang at

Meranda’s apartment. Rolling over she looked at

the clock and then turned on the light next to her

before picking up the phone.

“Cross.” Meranda said automatically.

“Meranda, it’s George.”

“George it’s two in the morning what is going on?”

“Lucas is missing.”

“What?” Meranda said sitting straight up.

“We had a call that Lucas’s car was found

abandoned on Fourth Street, Boston PD was sent

to check it out, the doors were open and blood was

found inside. But there is no sign of Lucas.”

“Damn it I told him to call if he was going to check

on some leads.”

“He said he was checking on a few and heading

home for the night.”

“That son of a bitch. He told me he’d call.”

“Randa, calm down.”

“No, is the car still at the scene?”

“Yes, that’s why I am calling you. Figured you’d

head over and check it out. Your temporary

partner will be there waiting for you.”

“I can do this alone.” She spat angrily.

“I don’t want this case worked by just you, I’ve

already lost one agent I wont lose two.”

“Yes sir. What’s the kid’s name?”

“The agent’s name is James Williams. Graduated

in the same class you did. Just get down there I’ll

give you the particulars on Williams tomorrow.”

“Thank you.”

“No problem. Just find our agent.”

“Yes sir.” Meranda said hanging up the phone. She already knew this was a strange case and now with the addition of a new agent, she would have to inform him of what was being worked on and still find Lucas alive. She only hopped the blood found at the scene wasn’t Lucas’s.
